Confirmed: Captain EO is Returning to Disneyland

Disney has confirmed that the 17-minute long “Captain EO” will return to Disneyland for a limited engagement starting in February, 2010. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, the George Lucas-produced 3D film stars Michael Jackson and Anjelica Huston. It features music by James Horner.

Disneyland says that “the attraction’s return to Tomorrowland will provide new audiences the opportunity to experience the original 3D production for the very first time, as well as a nostalgic look back for longtime fans wanting to see ‘The King of Pop’ in a rare performance created for the big-screen, just one more time.”

The “Honey I Shrunk The Audience” attraction will be closing sometime in the next few weeks to make way for the Captain’s return.
